F'real.

F'real.
Some people are totally, utterly lame. I'm groping for a better, more descriptive word, but seriously, "lame" trumps all in this case.
The supermarket was busy today when I went with Mrs. A. We stood in line with our cart overflowing with all of five items, when all of a sudden the guy who was purchasing his groceries realized that he needed his cart, which he had left on the store side of the register, so he asked the two people and their carts in front of me and behind him to move out for a second so he could grab his cart to load his groceries in. We obliged, but as I was moving back into line behind the guy in front of me, this lady with five items of her own who was standing in the aisle next to us just wedged her pudge in between the guy in front of us and me. She, like, checked her mirrors and changed lanes between two close cars where the car in the rear had to slam on the brakes on a busy highway and then she didn't move on to an open lane, ya know what I'm saying? Not cool. I mean, like, how low can you get, really? A blind lady and her bok choy and 1.99 lego block of cheese and her two-day-a-week college student hired help? THAT'S who you stiff out of their turn in the checkout line?
F'reals, man, f'reals. People need honest to goodness help.

wow, and you didn't lean out and flip her off either?
ehehe. It'd be kinda' hard to lean out of a grocery cart, Court... OK so NASCAR has truck racing and car racing, they should also add grocery cart racing. I mean scientists could make sleek erodynamic grocery carts and have the different races from Piggly Wiggly and Food Lion all the way to the big leaguers like Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.(LOL) Hehe. Piggly WIggly always strikes me as such a ridiculous name that I laugh every time.
And no, I didn't flip anyone the bird (though in New England, it's quite possible to see that occur in the supermarkets.. people drive their carts like they do their cars...), but I did smile sweetly. What I wanted to do was, like, kick her in the shins. But that wasn't quite the Christian thing to do, really. not really.
And I really like the NASCAR idea, Annie. I'm totally up for that. I love Sam's Club because the aisles are so huge and I can stand on my cart and coast along. I was grocery shopping with my mom today, too. I slipped in a puddle of milk that was left on the floor. F'real. That will be an AWESOME story to tell the grandkids, man. God was testing you, dear one. How did you do?
BTW. I like to shop out of other people's carts while I'm in the supermarket. Like George Carlin says, "You haven't paid for it yet. It still belongs to all of us."
Also, I was in the MB one day, stealthily following the Proulx's (Norm and Sue)from aisle to aisle, throwing things like double-stuffed mint Oreos in their cart.
Just before the Wilds trip in June I saw Mr. and Mrs. A at the MB. I was thinking of doing the same thing but there is a danger that I might kill one of the kids. Don't want that. ... people like that make me want to give them the "Loser" sign. You know, the L with the hand? Either that or the "Whatever" thing... but that requires two hands...
and I'm lazy. My family guards our carts from people just like you, Paperboy! :) You know, there are alternate ways to make your frustrations known.... heheh. Wow, I must say that in the area of supermarkets I happen to be an expert. This doesn't suprise me. If you think it is bad how customers treat each other, you should see how they treat the workers. I have seen it all. some of the most rediculous complaints ever. People are low and the snobier they are if you get my drift, the lower they will go. They really do nees a counselor in places like that. Sorry you were the recipient of supermarket maddness
C'mon. Grocery store employees have the worst. I spent 19 months of my life as one. I still have issues from that...
